hate against me, and ye would not like to be put up in the witness box at
Terryscreen."
"You need not be distressed about Miss Denis, Darby," said Gilbert
sternly. "I could prove enough without her. If I do let you off, it will be
on account of your old mother, and because I've known you ever since I
could walk, and because the harm is done now, and to publish your
knavery, would make half the county look like fools."
"Look here, Mr. Gilbert, I'll never offer to fire a shot in anyone's ground
again, nor to set foot in Crowmore. And I'll make restitution on the cow,
an' wan or two small matters beside, in all twinty pounds. There now!
I'm laying me sins bare before you—and what more can I do?"
"You can leave the country! You must clear out within twenty-four
hours, and never show your face again in these parts, either as John
Dillon or Darby Chute. And, as to the restitution, I shall have a word
with Father Fagan, he will see to that."
"Very well, Mr. Gilbert," he rejoined quietly, "as you plase. But I warn
you that there will be nations of poachers in it, when I go."
"Nations or not, go you must. I wonder what my uncle would say if he
knew I let you off so cheap."
"'Deed then, Mr. Gilbert, I'm thinking he would just destroy both you and
me! Howd-somever, I've a brother in America, and I've long laid out to
go there. So it's not putting me much about!"
"And is less inconvenient than jail! Well, I daresay you will be smart
enough even for some of them."
"Shure, how would I be smart, that never had no book learning?"
protested Darby scornfully. "Look here, Mr. Gilbert, if that's your young
lady—and, faix, it looks like it—I never saw any one make a worse hand
of coortin' than yourself. Raally, I'm surprised at ye! You at one side of
the gate, and her at the other. Miss Helen," now turning to her, "I suppose
ye may as well have this brace of grouse," producing the birds from his
pocket. "And with regard to that little account you were spakin' of, and
the other change, I'll send it up the first thing in the morning, and may be
you won't let on, but it was a mistake."
"Indeed, Darby, I shall tell the whole truth," cried Helen indignantly.
"You need not expect me to keep such a thing secret."
"Well, I'll be out of it to-morrow! so it's no great matter. Good-bye, Mr.
Gilbert; good-bye, Miss Helen. You and I were never very thick, still I
wish you both luck and grace, and that you may live long and die
happy," and picking up his cap and gun, Mr. Darby Chute walked away
with considerable dignity.
"There's a nice ruffian for you!" exclaimed Gilbert emphatically.
"Yes; and to think how he must have robbed uncle, and poor Dido!"
"And to think of the years he has been poaching the country. However,
never mind him now, we have something else to talk about."
"But there's the stable clock striking eight, and I must go. And it's your
dinner-hour at Ballyredmond."
"Not to-night.—To-night I don't want any dinner. (Could manly devotion
go further?) I am going to walk back with you. Thank goodness, there is
no Mrs. Creery to hustle me away this time."
To his proposal the young lady made no demur, no protestations; not
even when he insisted on taking her home by the longest way, up the hill,
out by the road, and in by the new avenue! The whole distance was about
three-quarters of a mile; the time occupied three-quarters of an hour; the
moon, a full harvest moon, had risen, and the twilight had given place to
a light almost as clear as day. Seated on her own door-step, smoking her
little dhudeen, they descried the "Fancy,"—and she saw them! The
unexpected appearance of an interesting-looking young couple strolling
down the road, was a welcome windfall to this active old woman, who
instantly sprang up, and darted out, to waylay them with her invariable
whine of,—
"Give the poor old woman the price of a cup of tay, your honour. Oh!"
recognizing him, "and 'tis yourself is welcome home, me own darling
Mr. Gilbert. Give me the price of a new petticoat, and that you may gain
the lady!"
In answer to this romantic appeal, he promptly threw her the sovereign
that Helen had returned, and Judy (having made herself acquainted with
the value of the coin) accompanied the lovers to the gates overpowering
them the while with shrill benedictions.
From the following few words it would appear as if the "Fancy's" good
wishes were wholly superfluous, and that the lady had already
surrendered.
"Good-night," she said as she paused half-way up the avenue. "You
really must not come any further."
"And pray why not?"
"Because they know nothing, and it will look so strange," she
stammered. "I should like to tell them first," she added rather shyly.
"Then I shall come over at cock-crow, to-morrow. May I come to
breakfast?"
"Yes, you may. Good-night," holding out her hand.
"Good-night! and is that all? I am not going to let you run off like that,
this time!" detaining her. "You have forgotten something."
"Oh, of course! how stupid of me—the grouse to be sure!"
"No—NOT the grouse!" replied Gilbert—who was far bolder than Darby
imagined!
Two minutes later Helen's cousins,—who had been sitting with the
drawing-room door open, and the hall door as usual, eagerly listening to
every sound,—heard her running up the gravel, and then up the steps.
Her cheeks were scarlet, but on the whole, she did not look as if she was
flying from a ghost!
"What a fright you have given us!" cried Dido, rushing at her. "Katie and
I have been almost distracted.—You have been away nearly two hours."
"Have I really!" she exclaimed apologetically. "I did not think I had been
half that time."
The anxieties of her relatives had evidently not been shared by Barry,
who sat with his feet upon a chair, a paper in his hand, and a look of
stolid indifference on his face.
"Well, did you see Dillon?" he demanded, as she entered the drawing-
room.
"Oh, yes! I saw him," she returned carelessly; "and here," exhibiting the
birds, "are a brace of grouse he gave me!"
"I don't believe you!" bringing down his boots with a loud bang.
"And there's his beard!" tossing a black object into Katie's lap,—who
immediately rose with a loud shriek, and shook it off as if it had been a
rattlesnake.
"I'll tell you something else,"—addressing herself specially to her
cousins. "What do you think? We made a grand discovery this evening.
John Dillon, the notorious ghost poacher, is your esteemed friend, Darby
Chute!"
When the ensuing storm of exclamations and questions had somewhat
subsided, Dido said suddenly, "But surely he never confessed all this to
you alone? Who was with you? What do you mean by we?"
Helen's sole answer was a brilliant blush; and, strange to say, this reply
was sufficient for her cousin.

A year has elapsed since Gilbert Lisle stood on his trial at the black gate.
He has now quite settled down in the rôle of a married man, and spends
most of his time between Berkshire and Ballyredmond. However, his
wings have not been too closely clipped, for people who bore a striking
resemblance to him and his wife were met in Tangiers last winter; and
they are meditating a trip to the East, and paying a flying visit to Dido
(Dido who is now residing on the plains of Hindostan and learning the
practical use of punkahs and mosquito nets).
Thanks to Helen's good offices, the course of Miss Sheridan's true love
ran smoothly after all, and she was married with considerable éclat from
the Lisles' house in London. Between that mansion and 15, Upper Cream
Street—there is a cloud. Helen and her relatives exchange dignified
salutes when they meet in public, but there their intimacy ceases. Mr.
Lisle has forbidden his wife to cross her aunt's threshold (an embargo
that is by no means irksome to that young lady), and the Misses Platt tell
all their acquaintance what an odious, ungrateful creature she is, and how
once upon a time they took her in, and kept her out of charity. And this is
their reward!
Nevertheless, the Honourable Mrs. Gilbert Lisle does not forget old
friends. She is not ashamed to see the Smithson Villa vehicle standing
before her door; and she has more than once visited at Malvern House,
and entertained Mrs. Kane, and some of her former pupils. Lord Lingard
has been altogether captivated by his daughter-in-law. She is everything
his heart desires; young, pretty, and pleasant. He has invested her with
the family diamonds!
Barry and Katie reign at Crowmore. The place is much altered, for the
better; the old lodges have been swept away, the wall is gone, the gates
restored; the garden is pruned, the yard is reclaimed, and the out-offices
are roofed, and filled. Katie is happy in her own way. She rather enjoys
being bullied by Barry, is lenient to his little foibles, and she listens to his
vainglorious personal reminiscences with deep interest, and implicit
faith. On one point alone she is somewhat sceptical, viz., that Barry
could have married her cousin, had he chosen;—her pretty cousin Helen,
who occasionally drives over from Ballyredmond in a smart Stanhope
phaeton, and seems perfectly satisfied with her own husband, and who
snubs Barry, as mercilessly as ever!
Mr. Sheridan, poor gentleman, has now but few lucid intervals. He is at
present engaged in an absorbing search for the elixir of life, and lives in
his tower along with a companion, whom he treats with the most
reverent respect and calls "Archimedes," but to the outer world he is
known as James Karney—a keeper from a lunatic asylum.
Biddy, thanks to Helen's good offices, has relented at last, and permitted
her niece Sally to bestow her capable hand upon "that little sleveen,
Larry Flood." The market-cart has consequently been abolished, and the
Master's occupation (like Othello's), is gone. He is now a pensioner at
Ballyredmond, where, to quote his late charioteer, Mrs. Flood, "he never
does a hand's turn, barrin' thievin' in the haggard, and chasing the cows."
The "Fancy" continues to flourish, to levy tribute, and to make a
comfortable income out of her holding at the Cross. And, according to
the last accounts from America, Darby Chute reported himself to be
doing well.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating

Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project

Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg

Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit

501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,

Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and
up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s
website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without

widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project

Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project

Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network
of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed

editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
